By The biscuit auditor made a spot check visit last week and I got myself into a bit of trouble.
The auditor is of course my wife! She decided to check on the contents of the ‘Custard Creams’ tin and came to the conclusion that someone had been having more than their fair share of these little pieces of deliciousness.
Guilty M’lud
As there’s only the two of us living here, it didn’t take too long to work out who the biscuit kidnapping culprit was. I know, I hold my hands high and plead guilty your honor. It’s hardly the crime of the century though, is it? After all, who can honestly say they can resist the temptation of a Custard Cream or two when you think you’ll get away with it?
Mundane Stuff
Onto more mundane stuff now. I’m running out of space on my blog here and I need to get rid of some of the early posts I made. Actually, I’m surprised how far back the posts go. So, without further ado, I will be taking part in what they call ‘website maintenance’ over the weekend to make room for more pages of daft posts in the future. It’s a kind of Spring cleaning exercise and long overdue.
Stay Safe
I will also be hiding from the wrath of the biscuit auditor, she hasn’t found out about the chocolate hobnobs yet! If I had a virtual ‘probation’ period for the Custard Creams then it’s definitely off to prison for the Hob Nobs!! I will wish everyone a safe and happy weekend as I head off to blog revamp time. See you on the flipside and if my blog is down for any time over the weekend, it’s only a fix-it thing I’m working on. As Arnie says, ‘I’ll be back.’

March 4, 2021Those biscuits look and sound so good! I could use a few right now. I’d be in deep trouble with entire tins of them within reach.
Trev
March 4, 2021Thank you. I know, they are delicious and that’s why I am in trouble. š
Peter's pondering
March 4, 2021Perhaps if you indulge in the fig rolls your blog may clear itself!
Trev
March 4, 2021Lol. Now there’s a thought, Peter. š
June Lorraine Roberts
March 4, 2021Good luck with the web clean-up…and the Biscuit Auditor

March 4, 2021The biscuits sound delicious, but you may be in a heap of trouble! ????

March 4, 2021Can’t blame you for swiping more than your share of the Custard Cream biscuits š All the best with your blog revamp. That’s next on my list once I’ve completed my new author website.
Trev
March 4, 2021Thank you, Rosaliene š

March 4, 2021Custard creams were always a favourite also Jaffa cakes and oh dear I don’t know what they are called…like shortbread with bits of raisin. Enjoy the purge!
Trev
March 5, 2021Ooooh, biscuits, all sorts, theyāre all lovely ????
PaperKutzs
March 4, 2021Hmmmm. I didnāt realize you could only have so many posts. I guess I should try and find this information. Good luck hiding from the auditor.
Trev
March 5, 2021Iām on a self hosted blog, so you only get a limited amount of space. ????
Cheryl, Gulf Coast Poet
March 4, 2021Trev, that sweet tooth leads you into misdemeanors! Do a good deed for the auditor and you will be pardoned! š
All the best!
Trev
March 5, 2021Thank you, Cheryl. Yes, I have little control over my sweet tooth. ????

librepaley
March 5, 2021Yup, being caught is worth it for a custard cream. Tip to hide biscuits: arrange some garibaldis (squashed fly biscuits) on top of the tin.
Trev
March 5, 2021Thank you, I shall remember this. It sounds as though you have been in biscuit prison too?
Crystal Byers
March 5, 2021Reminds me of the poem by William Carlos Williamsājust a little note to his wife.
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Trev
March 6, 2021???? thank you, Crystal.

March 5, 2021At least you aren’t hiding them… ????
Trev
March 6, 2021No, the temptation would be far too much for me. Thank you, Mrs Shecky. ????
Herb
March 5, 2021Aha! the cookie thief was caught! I’m sorry you have a limitation. That must be a WordPress thing, I guess.
Trev
March 6, 2021Thank you, Herb. Yes, itās because Iām self hosted.
Herb
March 6, 2021I’m self-hosted but I have what’s called an “unlimited” plan with Godaddy. I’m sure there’s a limit somewhere but I’m not sure what and I have been with them a long time. Do you keep archives of your stuff on your computer or when you delete it it will just be gone?
Trev
March 6, 2021I do keep a copy on my computer. I think mine is an unlimited plan, but when you look into it, they give you a database of 100 mb. ????

March 5, 2021Hi Trev, I sympathise. I have given up cake for lent but that doesn’t apply to biscuits, does it? I should never have bought a packet of chocolate digestives, but they were dark chocolate – that’s goood for you, isn’t it? My problem is cheese and crackers. I nibble them when I am cooking tea. I have been told a glass of red wine would be better for me, but it’s got to be a habit.
I like making people laugh, too but I can never remember jokes. There is humour in all my books but I don’t think they are funny.
Not much to laugh at at present. Just hoping things will get better soon.
Trev
March 6, 2021Thank you, Julie. You keep enjoying the biscuits and cheese and crackers. It is a difficult time, but letās hope thereās light at the end of the tunnel. ????

Invisibly Me
March 6, 2021I’m the biscuit auditor in this house so I empathise with your wife. It’s a tough job finding the culprit, ensuring adequate jail time is done and deciding when to open a new pack of biscuits so you can get your mitts on enough biscuits yourself before the cookie monster(s) eat them all! I’ve opened two packs of HobNobs in the last two days and they’ve all already gone. When you open yours I imagine the same thing will happen. I picked up more in the supermarket and bloody hell, the packs are tiny & the price is ridiculous! They’re on sale in Sainsbury’s for Ā£1, but I’m sure ‘back in the day’ the packs were twice as big… They’ve really got us over the biscuit barrel there. Too good to resist.
Good luck with the blog revamp and spring clean over the weekend. Want to sort my blog afterwards? xx
Trev
March 6, 2021Thanks, Caz. She doesn’t need empathizing with thanks. š It’s so easy in our house to find the cuplrit as there’s only the two of us. I’ve had a good go at spring cleaning the blog and from what I can see, it hasn’t made much difference. I am surprised I didn’t mess it up completely and deleted the whole lot. I’d love to sort your blog for you, but you can bet your life that because it’s not mine, it would definitely get deleted. Thanks again, Caz, stay safe. š
